Default Should I install new string with 13 days until opening day? How-to questions also.

Well, I just got in my new strings from Gibblet aka Bucknasty. They look great.

Anyway, the reason I bought them was to have in case something happened during season and I needed new strings. Now I'm wondering if I should go ahead and put them on? My bow is tuned and shooting perfectly. If I don't put them on now then it won't happen until January.

Now to the how-to...

I already screwed up and took the strings out of the package and they have probably untwisted from the length they should have been. Thats not really a big deal, just made it that much harder on myself. I also plan on taking pictures of string/cable/cam orientation and ATA, BH, peep, d-loop measurements. I'm also going to make some pencil marks on the cams in relation to the limbs.

If I take all of these precautions...should I be okay? How do I know if I get my drawlength correct? Should I make a draw board?

Help me out here fellas.

if you didn't untie the loops you'll be fine.

I'd put gibblets strings on an hour before going. As long as I knew the setup it wouldn't botherme a bit.Say you don't and are out, you'll be kicking yourself all the way home.

I see the good doctor has already weighed in. Appears you'll be fine. I'd go along with what he says's and call him the morning after.
